KAYS BARN
Kays Barn is a truly exceptional detached home sat in one acre, originally dating back to the 1800s and sympathetically converted in the late 1980s to create a beautiful and versatile family residence.
KEY FEATURES
Set behind a gated entrance, this striking stone barn offering 5791 sq ft, blends historic charm with thoughtful design and a remarkably flexible layout.
A welcoming stone-flagged porch opens into the hallway through fully glazed double doors, revealing solid oak flooring and an impressive open-tread staircase rising to a galleried landing above. From here, double doors lead into the spacious living room, where windows to both front and rear bring in natural light, and a magnificent stone fireplace with multi-fuel stove takes centre stage. This generous room is currently arranged into two distinct areas, offering a relaxed, adaptable living s pace.
The dining room opens to the rear garden via French doors and continues the oak flooring, while the study is fitted with bespoke office furniture including shelving, cupboards, drawers and a dedicated desk area. A cloakroom sits nearby, with built-in storage, hanging space and a 2pc suite.
A further sitting room enjoys dual-aspect windows and features a stone fireplace with a woodburning stove. The heart of the home is the beautifully crafted breakfast kitchen by Grayston & Son, incorporating bespoke cabinetry, natural stone worktops and a generous island with breakfast bar and fitted seating. Appliances include NEFF cooking options with dual-fuel hob (induction and gas), double electric oven, microwave, integrated dishwasher, and space for an American-style fridge freezer. This space opens into the morning room with tiled flooring and French doors to the garden, creating a light-filled, sociable setting. A separate utility room offers additional built-in storage, a sink with mixer tap, natural stone surfaces and external access.
Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite enjoys a walk-in wardrobe with fitted drawers and hanging space, along with a private en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom also features fitted wardrobes and its own 4pc en-suite. The family bathroom is luxuriously appointed with a 5pc suite, including a walk-in shower with body jets, tile-sided bath, halfpedestal basin, bidet and WC. A laundry area with plumbing for a washing machine and dryer is tucked off the landing, from which a staircase leads to a magnificent upper-level retreat which is currently arranged as four interconnecting spaces with exposed beams and timbers, perfect as a games room, studio, gym or teenage sanctuary and will include the snooker table.
Outside, the sweeping driveway leads to a turning circle and provides ample parking, with further hardstanding beyond. The landscaped front garden is laid mainly to lawn, interspersed with mature trees, shrubs and planting, and includes a charming feature pond. To the rear, generous patio terraces are framed by raised beds and planters, creating a delightful and private outdoor entertaining area.
Garaging is extensive, with space for up to five vehicles, including single, tandem and double garage -the latter fitted with twin electric doors and there are EV charging facilities. Adjoining the garaging is a substantial stable block with four individual stables, offering fantastic equestrian or lifestyle potential.
A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully converted period barn in a fabulous setting and viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the scale, quality and flexibility of this unique home.
